Accreditation of Paramedic Education Programs
The CAA accredits Entry-level Paramedic Education Programs.
The accreditation process provides assurance that a graduate of an accredited course will possess the knowledge, skills and attributes necessary to achieve the necessary competencies to work as a professional paramedic.
Accreditation of education programs involves the assessment of program content and whether the course is structured and delivered in a manner necessary to impart the required skills, knowledge and attitudes. The assessment for accreditation also involves reviewing whether the higher education provider has the staff and physical resources necessary for effective learning.

- Auckland University of Technology, NZ

- Edith Cowan University, WA
